Thrift books has a location here in CT that will accept the books and either sell, donate or properly recycle all old or new books. You get a portion of the sale, they keep some and the rest goes to a charity of your choice. There are many other companies you can check out, but Thrift is so conveniently located that I go with them. The other companies are:

                Better World Books - http://www.betterworldbooks.com/

                Powell’s Books - http://www.powells.com/sellonline

                Libraries of love - http://www.librariesoflove.org/

                Book Forward - http://bookforward.net/

                B Logistics - http://www.blogistics.com/

 

ALA also has a whole page dedicated to this topic at: http://www.ala.org/tools/libfactsheets/alalibraryfactsheet12

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [CASL-L] Current Biography and Contemporary Lit. Criticisms hardcopies

 

Hi all,

 

We are in possession of very old books, specificially Current Biography (from the 1950s), and Contemporary Lit Criticisms (in poor condition) from at least 30 years ago. My question is, does anyone do anything productive with these books? Is there a responsible way to discard them? We've looked around and had no luck.

 

Thanks so much!

Rachel
